Khabib Nurmagomedov does not believe in leaving the past behind, At least not when it comes to Conor McGregor.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor possibly starred in the greatest rivalry in the history of the MMA, which culminated in their historic fight in UFC 229, where Nurmagomedov strangled the former champion, subjecting him in the fourth assault. The event was MMA's most grossing PPV of all time and became famous for what happened immediately after the victory of Nurmagomedov, when he threw himself against the public to attack Dillon Danis, unleashing a massive fight.
But despite overcoming McGregor and even attack his team, Nurmagomedov has not yet left behind his feelings about the Irish superstar.
“He still doesn't say his name today. He still does not say his name. He still does not say his name. Last week he gave an interview in New York and said: 'This guy'. He never says his name. He hates it! ”
At his best, McGregor was one of the best chartans of the MMA, causing incessantly to his opponents and participating in a mental war. While he succeeded with these tactics against other fighters, he did not work with Nurmagomedov. On the other hand, “the eagle” took the various insults to his family, his religion and himself as personal, and took revenge with a brutal beating before finally liquidating McGregor in the fourth assault.
«Friend, they are in the octagon and Conor whisper after the third assault, after Khabib (beat him): 'They are only business'. Khabib replies: 'No, they are not. No, they are not. With those guys don't get, man. That Russian is different ».
